Re: which is best for me?

slikes dont need alot of space and are fairly easy to keep but if the run is going to get very wet and muddy then would have alook at other bantam breeds

will they have to stay in there all the time or will they be let out?

Re: which is best for me?

slikes would be a good breed to go in that size run
put some wood chipings or bark chippings on the floor they like to scratch about

is the hutch a chicken house?
